Thanks Joanne! This pattern uses 15 pattern shafts. Once Oli J finishes the studio extension, I'll be able to extend my drawloom, which will give me room for more pattern shafts! Damask is truly my passion!

I did find the Gemstone silk pills quite a bit during weaving. I'd love to hear what silk yarn other damask weavers use.
